❤️ Personality & Breed Information

Phoebe Marie is a beautiful 5-month-old Shepherd mix weighing 45 pounds, with a personality that's just as lovable as she is! This sweet and silly girl has a wonderful combination of puppy playfulness and affection, and one of her favorite things is cuddling with her people.

Phoebe Marie has that adorable puppy charm that makes everyday moments a little more entertaining. She's sweet, goofy, and full of personality, but she also has a softer side that loves closeness and affection. Whether she's enjoying some playtime or curling up for a cuddle, she's happiest when she gets to share those moments with someone she loves.

Shepherd mixes are often known for being intelligent, loyal, affectionate, energetic, and attentive to their families. They frequently enjoy learning new things and participating in activities that challenge both their minds and bodies.

As a Shepherd mix, Phoebe Marie may develop some of these characteristics as she matures. At 45 pounds and only five months old, she is already a substantial puppy and will likely continue growing. Her exact adult size cannot yet be determined.

Her ideal family should be prepared for a potentially large, active dog who will need regular exercise, mental enrichment, continued training, positive socialization, and plenty of companionship.

Most importantly, Phoebe Marie deserves a family who will appreciate both sides of her personality—the silly puppy who makes them laugh and the affectionate girl who wants nothing more than to snuggle up beside them.

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

At only five months old, Phoebe Marie is still learning about the world. Her future family should be prepared for the normal responsibilities of raising a young puppy, especially one who is already 45 pounds.

Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be ready to continue working on potty training, crate training if desired, leash walking, basic commands, recall, appropriate chewing, calm greetings, household boundaries, and positive socialization.

Because Phoebe Marie is growing into a larger dog, establishing good manners early will be particularly important. Teaching her not to jump on people, pull on the leash, or become overly excited during greetings will help her develop into a well-mannered adult companion.

Shepherd mixes can be intelligent and eager learners, so positive reinforcement, patience, consistency, and short, engaging training sessions will help Phoebe Marie understand what is expected of her.

Her adopter should also understand that puppies require supervision, structure, and time. Accidents, chewing, teething, and occasional mischief are normal parts of puppyhood.

The 3-3-3 Rule

3 Days: Time to decompress and begin feeling safe.

3 Weeks: Time to understand her new household routine.

3 Months: Time to build trust, settle in, and begin feeling truly at home.

These are guidelines rather than deadlines. Every rescue dog adjusts at their own pace, and Phoebe Marie should be given the time she needs to feel comfortable and secure.

Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care

Phoebe Marie's vaccinations are up to date, and her spay status has not yet been confirmed.

Because she is only five months old, her adopter should review her medical records with a veterinarian to determine whether she needs additional puppy vaccine boosters, deworming, flea and parasite prevention, microchipping, or other preventive care.

If Phoebe Marie has not yet been spayed, her future family should discuss age-appropriate spaying with a veterinarian, particularly considering her potential adult size and physical development.

As a growing Shepherd mix, Phoebe Marie will need quality puppy nutrition appropriate for her expected adult size, regular veterinary examinations, age-appropriate exercise, dental care, grooming, nail care, and continued preventive healthcare.

Because she is already a larger puppy, protecting her developing bones and joints will be especially important. Her family should avoid excessive repetitive jumping, strenuous forced exercise, or activities that place unnecessary stress on her growing body.

Maintaining a healthy weight throughout puppyhood and adulthood will also help support her long-term joint health and overall well-being.

Adopting a puppy is a long-term commitment that includes the time, financial responsibility, training, and care necessary throughout her life.
